Richard Oentaryo is a Head of AI/ML Solutions based in Singapore with over two decades of experience translating advanced research into large-scale commercial impact, currently overseeing a regional portfolio of 250+ models that generate nine-figure annual value for DBS. He blends deep technical pedigree—a PhD in Computer Engineering and 40+ peer-reviewed publications—with hands-on engineering, having improved causal inference tooling and GPU support in notable open-source projects like McKinsey’s causalnex. At DBS he has driven Agentic AI, Quantum AI and Federated/Causal AI experiments while shaping strategic product roadmaps for remittances, loans and cards across four markets. Previously he led data-science transformation engagements at McKinsey and operationalized F1-grade telemetry analytics at McLaren Applied, consistently turning prototypes into reusable enterprise assets. Known as a coach and investor in the data community, he bridges academic rigor and product leadership to scale trustworthy AI in regulated industries. Less obvious: he combines deep algorithmic invention with pragmatic productionization—often shipping research ideas as bank-grade, reusable platforms.
